61 work and worked on weekends. The representatives considered that due to the victim’s technical specialization, the minimum wage should not be assigned to him when estimating lost wages, but that they did not know the amount he perceived as salary. Therefore, they indicated that taking into account the value of a salary of 25 lempiras per day, the Honduran labor legislation that contemplates two minimum monthly wages per year as a measure of social compensation, that life expectancy for men was 65.6 in the year 1995 and subtracting 25% for expenses, the representatives requested the amount of US$27,023.15 (twenty seven thousand and twenty three dollars of the United States of America with fifteen cents) in the concept of lost wages, and v) the next of kin incurred in expenses regarding the vigil and burial of the alleged victims, and due to the time that has gone by they do not have the receipts for said expenses, reason for which they requested that the Court set in equity the amount of those damages. c) Non-pecuniary damages i) the vulnerability of the victims regarding state agents, the way in which they were arrested, the threats and tortures they were subject to, their emotional and physical suffering, and the way in which they were killed must be taken into consideration when estimating a compensation for “nonpecuniary damages”.

Due to their conditions of minors, they requested the amount of US$175,000.00 (one hundred and seventy five thousand dollars of the United States of America) for Marco Antonio Servellón García and Rony Alexis Betancourth Vásquez, and iii) that the next of kin are also victims and that among the facts that must be analyzed by the Court are that the mother of Marco Antonio Servellón García was not allowed to see her son while he was detained; that the mother of Rony Alexis Betancourt Vásquez “thought that he was safe because he was in State custody” and that his partner was not allowed to see him, despite the fact that she waited all day outside the police office; and Orlando Álvarez Ríos informed his sister that he would be released, which did not happen. Likewise, the mental state of the next of kin was altered by the subsequent knowledge of the arbitrary arrest, the threats, the physical and physcological torture, and the killing of their loved ones, whose bodies were left in different parts of Tegucigalpa.

Due to the aforementioned, they requested that the court set in equity a compensatory amount in their favor. d) Other forms of reparation
